‘Scrubs’ is coming back for season 8 this fall but there is exodus of stars from the show which has put the future of the show in doldrums. Creator Bill Lawrence recently commented that he would like the show to go on forever or at least, until its ninth season. But, with its two central characters Jack Braff and Judy Reyes gone, there is remote possibility of the show surviving beyond this season. As an ardent fan, I sincerely hope that ‘Scrubs’ get even stronger with 8th season after shifting to ABC.
In an interview Lawrence said that there were at least 50\50 chances of the show going on beyond this season. Lawrence also said that “I see it as ending for Zach, and I see it as ending for me” and that the particular season 8 episode they are producing is “definitely written as a series finale.” It’s really sad if it happens this way because, of all the medical dramas going on TV, Scrubs is the best. This comedy series deals with the grave issues in a very light hearted manner.
Judy, who plays Carla Espinosa on ‘Scrubs’, was on TV recently. Last month, she was on the Lifetime telepic, Little Girl Lost: The Delimar Vera Story, in which she appeared alongside ‘Ugly Betty’s’ Ana Ortiz. The film is directed by Paul A. Kaufman and written by Christopher Canaan and Maria Nation. The film is about a little girl who grows up realizing that the mother who took care of her isn’t her biological parent, and tries to discover her identity.
Judy played Luz Cuevas in the film, mother of two beautiful children and wife to a loving husband, played by Hector Luis Bustamante. Luz’s life is turned upside down when her infant daughter is presumed to be victim of a fire that broke out in their home. Luz keeps up the hope that her daughter is still alive, as her remains were not found after the fire. She also suspects that her cousin, Valerie (Ana Ortiz) took the baby and started the fire to cover up her tracks.
